What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

A most interesting tale

Is it possible we might get a hint or two as to who it was.
Very intriguing. Mmhh


Btw not sure I fully understand what you mean by "copy of chat" you mention at end of post ?
 
I love the fluidity of this piece, smashing stuff
 
Thanks @ianpspurs. I think the dissatisfaction comes when the pen does it’s own thing and you find that it really is not mightier than the sword when you try and stab yourself with it in frustration.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those who dream of free flying, no, no I repeat flying, not lying I leave that to politicians and the media.

A resounding 6.6 on that meter this morning, I was expecting a low reading because I was shaking, but nope a level in my safety range. Perhaps I was cold, next time I shall wear some clothes, naked doing a blood sugar reading was how I thought you did it, well in me, me’s and myself defence I weigh wearing no clothes.

Here in Tilehurst Towers the day is spoken for and has started, LFT test done and reported, breakfast consumed, next will be medication and later today plinky plonky lesson, then home to prepare the bins for national bin day tomorrow.

Ah tomorrow I shall be late reporting in, a routine liver ultrasound, this time I hope they warm up the gel, better not mention mention the flatulent sounding gel container or the accompanying masked black looks.

Stay safe, stay warm and dry.
 
A great take on life and always good to do a bit of mis-direction on things purloined from curry houses. I’m with you on too much stuff in the kitchen department - I am still passing things on as I come across them if they haven’t been used in a while .
 
Chat app feed?
 
Smashing - the yellow and green work so well

Nope, no hint will be given @jjraak


Er, was I too obtuse...erm ...the full copy of 'Spare'. A full genuine pdf copy landed in one of my chat apps. It was being passed on. Hence I implied, it was going to hit a certain person's pocket very hard. I had no idea something like that could happen on day of publication, unless someone had a very big axe to grind...

Obviously I don't say online the particular chat apps I use, for privacy.

This is the answer I have just given @jjraak if this makes it clearer @dunelm

"Er, was I too obtuse...erm ...the full copy of 'Spare'. A full genuine pdf copy landed in one of my chat apps. It was being passed on.

And had most probably planned this in advance...for whatever their nefarious purpose...
 
Good morning everyone and it’s another day in paradise here in the dark and dangerous north. Got to love heart surgeons - it appears that I have a ‘whoosh’. I know, technical descriptor for the bewildered about the noise made by a leaky aortic valve as it closes. I can’t hear it - perhaps the guy is masquerading and is really some old sound engineer from early Doctor Who episodes. Anyhow, nothing to worry about as long as I keep taking the pills. He didn’t specify which ones so will stick to the ones handed over from the back of a BMW in the film Twin Town. My newly published book ‘Ersatzteil’. I didn’t write it myself of course but left it to Rosenheim Poltergeist, a famously unknown in these parts ghost writer. Its mainly about how not to complain when the change in your pocket jangles less noisily than the change inside your head with a small chapter about ploughing fields with the older generation. I will be about £2.45 in your nearest charity shop next week. Art bit - a bit more. Have a dinger of a day, must go, koffy to take charge of.

 
Morning all from a combination of a nursing home and sick bay here in Pig-n-Plane Central where it is dry and bright outside. Tea-n-toast run done and stairlift appropriated for hauling huge laundry basket upstairs. The management are ok with that. When JKP arises to staff the sick bay I'm off for a drive-thru blood test - should soon have enough points for a free coffee and doughnut. @gennepher thanks for the creative which made me rethink , in a good way, my attitude to some wintry scenes. Thank you. @alf_Josiah hope the procedure goes as smoothly as possible. Cold or hot gel for Mr Floppy on Jan 23rd isn't the issue just copious amounts and the right size camera. @dunelm thanks for sharing the latest development of your art and humorously recounting your close encounter of the heart surgeon kind. Have whatever kind of day you can manage with the ingredients and talents with which you have been blessed, Me? I hope to both perceive and know what things I ought to do, and also have grace and power faithfully to fulfil the same

I don't like being manipulated and there seems to be no sides of issues free of it.

Take for example the excess deaths issue, this has been happening for at least six months as reported by John Campbell and no one was listening then.

Well clearly it is not due solely to the health system in this country, because other countries have a higher rate of a excess deaths in the developed world and these countries have a variety of funding models.

We have a health guy who doesn't listen, who has is own narrative. Where are we going with this when the rich don't want to fund the poor's health or even fund the feeding of children?

Hi Dunelm I guess your wheel is undershot?

Doppler blood flow measurement is very noisy when the heart beats, rather similar in nature to the passing steam engine blowing its whistle as it goes by.
These skilled guys can pick up all sorts of anomalies modulating the usual Doppler sound.
